jeep?

came across this while hunting a few days ago. its gotta be a jeep but i cant figure out what model. no tailgate, and have never seen a front fender like that.

Rear inner wheelwell is rounded ????????????

 

I can't tell from the pic but it looks like the fender and "body" are wider then the cowl. Maybe someone who has some skills built the body from a JEEP? The cowl screams JEEP to me.

 

Get the rest of the village!!!!

Its franken-jeep!!!!

 

looked like a typical jeep seat but in the photo it looks like the pass. side wheel well goes up to far for a seat to fit there? Honestly i had just fought my way through a field of prickers/ brambles/ whatever and was cut, bleeding, sweating etc. so i didnt even notice that.

joe.

 

tool boxes in back of rear fender wells.

There was a post on here the other day about that.

 

Looks like an mb or GPW on my I phone. The cowl was a little narrower than the tub on flattys. Or at least appeared so.

 

Go get it, drag it out and rebuild it.

Way cool find.

 

Finally able to get a better look. The seat looks like it has a fuel tank cap hole in the driver seat which is mb GPW. Definitely a flatty tub and cowl. Looks like someone modified the rear wheel houses and front fenders. The driver seat also looks flatty as well, the fuel filler hole notwithstanding

im already in the middle of one of those go get it, drag it out and rebuild it projects.

 

cj 4 ?

just joking, from the length of the door cutout it looks like a Veit Nam era Ford jeep

 

Custom, that's what it is.

Guy on a Commando website said that wreck looks like a Willies Quad or an MA.

 

Ehhhh. I dunno. The whole door cut out area is different than the pic above, as are the fenders. I don't know what it is. It should be investigated to it's end though. Joe, you need get to the bottom of this or let someone else have a go at it. From what I can see in the pics, the mods look very professional. The lips around the door openings look almost factory. Again, judging from the picture. I'd be all over this if it were in my neck of the woods. I love mysteries like this.

 

Joe, it looks like it started out life as an MB. Some of the indications are the rear tool boxes in the fenders and the hole in the seat frame for gas tank filler.

 

were is it located i think i really don't need another project but that is bare enough to make an awesome juggy (i know sacrilege in the part of the forum but i want to build one)

 

I think that is a Ford GP, not a GPW. Grab it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Could it be a Ford pygmy with a modified door opening? I've spent an hour or so looking at old jeep picts and prototypes and I can't find anything that matches that. The front fender is odd.

I'd drag it out just to figure out what it is....

 

I know this is off the wall, but is the Jeep on private property? Have you asked the land owners about it?
